46 customer reviews

The Sleeping Beauty tickets are now available to the ENB production of Kenneth MacMillian's stirring tale.

Fall under the spell of Kenneth MacMillan’s fairytale classic. The malevolent Fairy Carabosse curses Princess Aurora to 100 years’ slumber, by a single prick of her finger on her 16th birthday. Doomed by fate, only a Prince’s sweet kiss can break the spell and awaken the sleeping beauty.

The bewitching and dark fairy-tale is brought to life in Kenneth MacMillan’s exquisite production; “a masterclass in classical style” (The Guardian), with “some of the most ravishing steps in the 19th century repertory”. Visually stunning with Peter Farmer’s sumptuous set, and elaborate costumes by Nicholas Georgiadis, this gorgeously classical production features Tchaikovsky’s ravishing score played live by English National Ballet Philharmonic.

This revival coincides with the recent anniversary of MacMillan’s death, and follows the Company’s performances of MacMillan’s masterpiece Song of the Earth in the autumn/winter.

Captivating! The whole family loved every minute.

The ballet was wonderful - excellent costumes, well paced performance and a clear plot.
I have given 4 stars as opposed 5 because I felt that 3hours was too long a performance. 2 and a half hours would have been long enough to understand the story. Also, 2 intervals was 1 too many. Could have been 2 and a half hours (or just 2) with 1 interval.
I still think that the overall quality of the performance was excellent.
